Broadhurst had been bidding to retain his Pure Insurance Championship title at Pebble Beach following claiming his maiden PGA Tour Champions win a year ago.

The 1991 Ryder Cup star fell away on the final day to finish way down the order. His misery was compounded when he was disqualified for signing off on an incorrect score – meaning he left California with nothing to show for his troubles.

“I took a three-shot lead into the second day. I didn’t hit it that well and I kept hitting it to 30 feet and not having any chances. I just had to stay patient.”

Broadhurst’s lead shrunk to one stroke going into Saturday’s final day, and despite momentarily losing his lead to Daly, he held his nerve to eventually take a three-stroke lead going into the final hole.

He said: “I couldn’t completely relax on the last hole. It was a par five as well. You’ve got to accept when you’re going around with someone like Daly that you’re going to be at least 30 yards behind him off the tee.

“He put a couple in the water and I managed to keep it together and on the last hole he had to go for it while I could play it up the right, away from the water.

“It was a good feeling to knock it in and win, especially after what happened the previous week.

“Le Golf National is a tough course and it can destroy you. But I held it together and then finished the job.”

Despite landing his second win on the European Senior Tour this season, Broadhurst’s American adventures remain on a knife edge going into the final phase of tournaments.

His disqualification at Pebble Beach has seen him slip to 34th in the Charles Schwab Cup money list with 525,817 Dollars to show from his 18 events played.

With only the top 36 players on the list playing in the season finale Charles Schwab Cup Championship in November, Broadhurst needs a strong performance in one of the final three events in North Carolina, Virginia and California to secure his participation in the Arizona showpiece event.
